Really? The Stupids Are Winning?

TSAW is purposely not intended to be a humorous site, although by the nature of some of the stories you will read, you might find yourself shaking your head in disbelief and laughing. It's really a site dedicated to collecting, investigating and reporting stories that help us understand why it appears that some people are incredibly successful when by all expectations they barely have the intelligence to BREATHE! Our main features will point out stupidity in the world that's around us - partners, family, friends, sometimes stupidity by entities of power - managers, companies, technologies, sometimes, even in our government servants.

TSAW Geography

Well, we hate to pick on a whole state, but.... Texas! Now it's an interesting story... take a dry, desolate territory, and discover a trillion dollars of oil underneath it. Yes, it took some serious capitalists, entreprenuers ,and outright geniuses, to figure out how to monetize that oil. But the other 26 million people living there don't appreciate that but 'for the grace of God', without that oil underneath them, they would be a dusty, dirtier version of Oklahoma - with a coastline! According to Forbes University Ranking, with 9% of the population of the United States, Texas has one university (Rice) ! Great investment there in the intellect. Talk about being born on third base.... (TSAW case #22)

TSAW Guy (1)

In the '90s getting hired as CTO for an Internet company three weeks before an IPO, and then banking several million bucks, led one Silicon Valley exec to think he was a genius. i.e. Qualified to be an Angel investor, kingmaker, etc, when all he did was be in the right place at the right time. Maybe this should be named the Steve Wozniak Award. [Yes Woz was the right guy for the Apple Duo, but what's happenend since for all that noteriety?] TSAW Case #36
